Apple could be planning to launch new Haswell-powered iMacs next month, with Haswell MacBook Pro with Retina display models expected to follow in September.

That's according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has this week predicted that Apple will launch a new iMac powered by Intel's new Haswell chips in late August. He expects a Haswell Retina MacBook Pro lineup to follow closely behind, with a mid-September launch likely.

Apple's MacBook Air refresh, which was unveiled at WWDC in June, already features Intel's Haswell chips, so we expect Apple will want to update its other Mac products to bring them up to date. At present, the iMac and MacBook Pro models are powered by Intel's older Ivy Bridge processors.
